## Changelog

### 📦 0.2 — 2026-09-21

#### Changed

- ⚙️ Renamed the monitoring scope input field to `monitorScope` for clarity. Existing scheduled runs that already pass the previous field name continue to work without any changes.

### 🚀 0.1 — Initial release

- 🔀 True cross-source rating reconciliation: each recruit's independent star rating, numeric rating, and national/position/state rank from On3, 247Sports, ESPN, and Rivals side by side (via On3's own industry-comparison ranking page), plus a computed rating-agreement spread showing how much sources disagree. Neither existing Apify Store competitor does this.
- 🏈 Live On3 college football recruit rankings (class years 2020-2032), server-rendered JSON, no browser required.
- 🎯 Structured filters neither competitor exposes: state, position, minimum star tier, committed-school text match, uncommitted-only, and minimum recruiting-interest count.
- 💰 Real NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) valuation in USD when published — never fabricated or defaulted.
- 🆕 Incremental ranking-movement monitoring mode (`onlyNewOrChanged`) tracking national rank, star rating, and committed school across scheduled runs, namespaced per `stateKey`.
- 📦 25+ structured output fields per recruit: name, position, height/weight, hometown/high school, star rating, national/position/state rank, commitment status, NIL valuation, and the full per-source rating breakdown.
- 🚫 Rivals.com is not directly crawled — its `robots.txt` explicitly disallows `ClaudeBot`. Genuine Rivals ratings are still surfaced via On3's own published cross-source comparison data, with attribution.
